Windows Environment Variables

[James]

Here is a list of all Windows XP (at least) environment variables and a small description of each. Some of these variables are already contained in macros/functions but it's always nice to have another method of doing things.

ConsoleWrite("All Users Profile location: " & EnvGet("ALLUSERSPROFILE") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Application Data: " & EnvGet("APPDATA") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Current Directory: " & EnvGet("CD") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Exact string to start CMD: " & EnvGet("CMDCMDLINE") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Version number of current Command Processor Extensions: " & EnvGet("CMDEXTVERSION") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Exact path to command shell executable: " & EnvGet("COMSPEC") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Current date (via CMD): " & EnvGet("DATE") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Most recent error code: " & EnvGet("ERRORLEVEL") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Home drive location: " & EnvGet("HOMEDRIVE") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Users full path: " & EnvGet("HOMEPATH") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Network path: " & EnvGet("HOMESHARE") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Logon server: " & EnvGet("LOGONSERVER") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Number of CPUs: " & EnvGet("NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Operating system name: " & EnvGet("OS") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Search path for executable files: " & EnvGet("PATH") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("File extensions that OS deems to be an executable: " & EnvGet("PATHEXT") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("CPU Architecture: " & EnvGet("PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("CPU Identifier: " & EnvGet("PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("CPU Level: " & EnvGet("PROCESSOR_LEVEL") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("CPU Revision: " & EnvGet("PROCESSOR_REVISION") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Command prompt settings: " & EnvGet("PROMPT") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Generate a random number between 0 and 32767: " & EnvGet("RANDOM") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Drive containing the Windows root directory: " & EnvGet("SYSTEMDRIVE") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Location of Windows directory: " & EnvGet("SYSTEMROOT") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Location of the temp directory: " & EnvGet("TEMP") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("The current system time: " & EnvGet("TIME") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Domain that contains the users account: " & EnvGet("USERDOMAIN") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Name of the currently logged on user: " & EnvGet("USERNAME") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Location of the profile of the current user: " & EnvGet("USERPROFILE") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Locations of the OS directory: " & EnvGet("WINDIR") & @CRLF)

I've just typed this all ouut while at college, so... I can't guarentee that I spelt everything right, no AutoIt for me here to automate for me

If anyone wants to add variables for Windows Vista, Seven then please do!

Thanks,

James

Edit: Completely forgot to write the variable for %WINDIR%

I guess this would be because they rely on commands to have commands sent to CMD already. Although RANDOM, TIME and DATE should work without them really

For a list of Environment Variables available on a particular machine try this.

#include <Constants.au3>

Local $PID = Run(@ComSpec & " /c set", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
Local $line
While 1
    $line &= StdoutRead($PID)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
Wend
ConsoleWrite($Line)
